Hi Brenda,

I used to imprint my ideals onto my partners. I would try and mould them to my vision. In my experience a person is basically themselves and we cant and shouldnt try to change them. We are only asking for trouble if we attempt to change the unchangable.

I totally relate... learning the hard way - thats me! Lol

Take care,

Michael

Michael, I guess human nature is for us to attempt to control and bend our partners. Just like you I tend to be hard headed, it took a lot of growing and failed marriages to, pardon the pun, change the way I dealt with things. I'm glad you can relate. Thanks! Brenda

Something to learn from. Thanks for sharing.

Your poetry makes me think... I love that!

Lessons learned within relationships can be such a hardship, but to change another should only be positive changes and not to seek benefits for personal needs... this poem is powerful!
